Product details
Overview
SZMMBZ5256BLT1G from onsemi is a 30 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board, with 4.2 mA test current, 49 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 0.1 μA leakage at 23 V reverse bias - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZMMBZ5256BLT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (556 °C/W), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode-anode polarity, designed for stable regulation under reverse-biased conditions. Its 30 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient near zero crossing, minimizing drift across −55°C to +150°C operating range.
The SOT-23 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020, with maximum solder temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds. Pin 2 is unconnected - confirmed by mechanical outline Style 8 and electrical characteristics table.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 28.5–31.5 V @ 4.2 mA - defines regulated output voltage window for clamp/reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 225 mW on FR-5 board - sets max continuous power handling without heatsinking |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 49 Ω @ IZT = 4.2 mA - determines regulation stiffness under load transients |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.1 μA @ VR = 23 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - enables robustness in handheld and automotive PCBs without external protection |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 556 °C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient rise per watt, critical for thermal derating above 25°C |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - confirms reliability validation for automotive electronics applications per stress test requirements |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) package: 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm × 1.00 mm body, 1.90 mm lead pitch, void-free thermosetting plastic case with corrosion-resistant finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; carries forward current during fault events |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally isolated terminal - must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or shorting |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential node; defines regulated voltage reference point at cathode-to-anode drop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C30LT1G | 30 V ±5%, 350 mW rating, 70 Ω ZZT, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Higher power handling but lacks automotive qualification and ESD rating | Preferred for non-automotive industrial boards where higher PD is needed and AEC-Q101 not required |
| SZBZX84C30LT1G | 30 V ±5%, 350 mW, AEC-Q101 qualified, 70 Ω ZZT, 0.1 μA IR @ 23 V | Same automotive qualification but larger Zener impedance reduces regulation accuracy under dynamic loads | Acceptable where board space allows SOT-23 and tighter regulation is not critical; higher PD enables longer transient clamping |
Compared with SZMMBZ5256BLT1G, BZX84-C30LT1G offers higher power but no automotive qualification, while SZBZX84C30LT1G matches AEC-Q101 but trades 49 Ω impedance for 70 Ω - impacting regulation precision in fast-transient scenarios.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SZMMBZ5256BLT1G?
The SZMMBZ5256BLT1G has a Zener voltage range of 28.5 V to 31.5 V at 4.2 mA test current, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 30 V value. This tolerance is verified per onsemi's Electrical Characteristics table and applies under standard test conditions at 25°C ambient temperature.
Is SZMMBZ5256BLT1G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZMMBZ5256BLT1G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the "Features" section of the official datasheet. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD - confirming suitability for under-hood and cabin-mounted automotive electronics.
What is the function of Pin 2 on SZMMBZ5256BLT1G?
Pin 2 of SZMMBZ5256BLT1G is a no-connect (NC) terminal, as defined in Style 8 of the SOT-23 mechanical outline and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table footnote. It must remain unconnected on the PCB to prevent unintended current paths or parasitic coupling that could affect regulation accuracy.
How does the ESD rating of SZMMBZ5256BLT1G compare to standard Zener diodes?
SZMMBZ5256BLT1G features Class 3 Human Body Model ESD rating (>16 kV), significantly exceeding typical Zener diodes rated at Class 1 (<2 kV) or Class 2 (<4 kV). This high ESD immunity eliminates the need for additional protection components in handheld and automotive assembly environments.
What is the thermal resistance of SZMMBZ5256BLT1G on FR-5 board?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of SZMMBZ5256BLT1G is 556 °C/W when mounted on FR-5 board, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. This value governs thermal derating - power must be reduced by 1.8 mW per °C above 25°C ambient to maintain safe junction temperature.
